Retirement Planning Questions & Answers
Can I work with you remotely?
Yes! My clients live across the US so I do a significant amount of my work over the phone and via computer screen-sharing.
When should I start planning for retirement?
You should start as soon as possible. It’s never too late or too early to make smart decisions about your retirement.
What do I need to do to prepare for our introductory call?
Nothing! Do not prepare anything. Our introductory call is just that, a chance to get to know each other.
Do I need to know financial terms before we speak?
No, you don’t, but if you are nervous about talking to a retirement planning specialist or nervous about understanding financial terms you can read this report first…
Should I wait until I’m retired? I’ve started SS? After the election? The market recovers?
Dr Suess frowns upon waiting. Realistically, the earlier we work together, the more I can help with your retirement, so no, waiting doesn’t help.
What will be covered in the first call?
It’s simple: We’ll talk about what you’d like to accomplish and how I help my clients. If we’re a fit, we’ll discuss next steps to explore working together.
